Gamescom 2010: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Hands-On Preview

Being a real-life warrior of rock (like our own Frank Meyer) takes years of hard work, dedication, and quite a bit of talent. Fortunately for us, being a virtual warrior of rock requires significantly less effort and only sometimes result in some kind of Satan-appeasing sacrifice taking place in your living room. I can’t confirm or deny if that second part actually happened or not during Jem Alexander’s hands-on session with Neversoft’s Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock during Gamescom last week, but I can confirm that Jem did bring back a preview of the game. See?

“Each of the eight characters has their own little storyline and song list. Each character's track list is built around them, which means you'll find songs in similar genres grouped together here. One character specializes in punk rock, while another focuses on metal and another on classic rock, etc. Once each character has earned enough stars they will transform into a Warrior of Rock.”
